Submission guidelines: We're seeking photographs that capture the
look and feel of the United States as seen by those who live here, rather than the stock images of postcards and
TV backdrops. Email photos to
whatamericalookslike@gmail.com - doing so affirms that you hold all
rights to the submission, and grants us permission to publish your photo
at TheAtlantic.com and in any future collection of What America Looks
Like photographs.

Include the city and state where the
image is taken, and as detailed a description as you're willing to
offer. Also let us know if you've got a photo Web site or a link where a
print of your photo is available for purchase.
